CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's not a mystery what this program is supposed to do, but it proved to be one as far as getting it to work. Gmail Skins promises to jazz up your Google mail account and give you numerous customization options, but we weren't able to find the promised settings option.
Through Gmail Skins Options we were advised to log into our Gmail account and click on the Settings menu to find the program. We dutifully followed the seemingly simple directions, but no Gmail Skins setting was in sight. We disabled and enabled the program a few times, but the program was still a no-show. A Help menu isn't included, so that's as far as we could go in troubleshooting.
If you want to add a little oomph to your Gmail account, this program could help you if you can get to it work. But that's a lot of ifs, even for a program offered for free.
